In the Great Minds of the Eastern Intellectual Tradition lecture series Grant Hardy mentions that there is a Buddhist sutra or text when the Buddha gets a migraine (it's probably not described as a migraine I should imagine). It's apparently an example of the fruits Buddha's previous karma arising even after he was enlightened. Does anyone know the text that this happens in?

Thanks for asking! I'd heard about it too (in a Dan Ingram Buddhist Geeks podcast, I think) but could never find it. BTW, could you give a rough location to where it's mentioned in Hardy's lecture series.– tkpCommented Mar 19, 2015 at 22:25

This is explained in Why the Buddha Suffered (The Connection with Previous Deeds / Apadāna 39.10).

It is the one. Particularly as there are a lot of other ailments which Grant Hardy alluded to. Thanks Commented Sep 20, 2014 at 20:57

@SumindaSirinathSalpitikorala, the first two of those links seem to be broken. Can you check them?– tkpCommented Mar 19, 2015 at 22:26

The site is down but this is in the Apadana. Matter of finding another translation. Commented Mar 21, 2015 at 13:58
